Shane,

where are you putting those commands, in the dialin.config?  If not,
where do you specify what numbers it should hang up on?  I am looking
for any clue as to the chat script. I have no idea where to start.

I have been looking at the man page for voice.shell, but it looks like
it would be pretty in-depth programming to get it to do what I want.
